Water and fire damage, handled end to end.
Extraction and structural drying through full reconstruction — with the photo and moisture documentation carriers actually pay on. Call 484-255-3117 for an active loss.
What to do right now
If water is actively running, shut off the supply at the main valve before anything else. If the source is unknown or the water is near electrical panels or outlets, shut off power to the affected area at the breaker. Then call 484-255-3117.
Do not wait for your adjuster to authorize mitigation. Every policy obligates you to prevent further damage, and every carrier expects extraction and drying to begin immediately. Waiting 48 hours turns a flooring claim into a flooring, drywall, cabinetry, and mold claim — and carriers routinely dispute the added scope.
Photograph everything before you move it. Standing water, wet materials, the source, and the contents. Those photos become the record your claim is adjusted from.
What we handle
Mitigation and reconstruction under one contractor, so there's no gap between the drying company leaving and the rebuild starting.
How we work with your carrier
Most homeowners lose money on a claim not because the carrier is acting in bad faith, but because the scope submitted was incomplete or unsupported. Adjusters pay what is documented.
We write the scope, attach the photo and moisture record, and negotiate the line items that get challenged — tile removal justification, overhead and profit on multi-trade losses, and assembly replacement where partial repair won't produce a reasonable match. You keep control of the claim; we handle the back-and-forth.
Bring us your claim number and adjuster's contact information and we'll take it from there.
Frequently asked questions
Emergency calls to 484-255-3117 get a same-day response. For active water losses inside our water losses in the corridor we mobilize the same day, and typically within a few hours depending on the number of active losses. Call rather than submitting the form — the form is checked on business days.
Sudden and accidental water damage — a burst pipe, a failed supply line, an HVAC freeze-up — is covered under most standard policies. Gradual leaks, long-term seepage, and flood from surface water generally are not. We'll tell you honestly what we see before you file, and we work directly with your adjuster once you do.
No. In Pennsylvania and Delaware you choose your own contractor. Carrier-preferred programs exist for the carrier's convenience and pricing, not yours. Your policy pays for the repair; you decide who performs it.
Most residential water losses dry in three to five days with proper equipment placement. Hardwood, plaster, and concrete slabs take longer. We log moisture readings daily and pull equipment when materials actually read dry — not on a fixed schedule.
Both, and that's the point. The most common failure in restoration is the handoff — a mitigation company dries the house and disappears, and you spend six weeks finding someone to rebuild it. CAWR does mitigation and reconstruction under one contract.
Water damage that sits produces mold, usually within 24–72 hours. Our drying protocol is designed to prevent growth. Where growth has already occurred, we contain the area, remove affected materials, and treat the cavity before reconstruction.
